From ENS-The Episcopal Church Joint Nominating Committee for the Election of
the Presiding Bishop (JNCPB) has released the following statement:

On April 27, 2015, the Joint Nominating Committee for the
Election of the Presiding Bishop (JNCPB) announced its process for
nominating bishops from the floor to the office of the Presiding Bishop
of The Episcopal Church at General Convention in June 2015.

The JNCPB is canonically charged with “establishing a timely
process for any bishop or deputy to express the intent to nominate any
other member of the House of Bishops from the floor at the time the
Joint Nominating Committee presents its nominees to the joint session of
the two Houses, and for each Bishop so nominated to be included in the
information distributed about the nominees”.

The JNCPB outlined this procedure in a message to the Church on April 27, 2015.

The deadline for bishops and deputies to nominate a bishop under
this procedure was May 12, 2015. JNCPB announces that no additional
bishops were nominated.
